>a search engine always gives multiple results and it is on me to read and compare. i usually look at the first half a dozen or so results

Why do you think they're the best? You just trust the search engine, right?

>the problem, again, is that an LLM answer does not have the quality of a well written article you may find elsewhere

When I ask LLM about something, it usually returns several URLs usually, if there are different opinions.

i don't trust the search engine. i open the first half dozen links to check them, and if they are not good i try a different search engine.

if an LLM actually returns multiple links, than that's better, i haven't actually used LLMs that much. but then i would just open all those links and check them, ignoring whatever the LLM writes about those links. at which point the question is, for this particular usage is there even any difference between an LLM and a search engine?
